The Never Ending Story is one of the most beloved Fantasy movies of all time. The story of young Bastian, Atreyu and of course riding Falkor the flying luck dragon were a part of many 80’s and beyond youth. The Never Ending Story was actually filmed almost entirely in Germany at a place called Bavaria Film Studios. (The street scenes and the school interior which were shot in Vancouver, Canada and the beach where Atreyu falls, which was filmed at Monsul Beach in San Jose, Almería, Spain are the only parts that were not.)

Bavaria film studios these days, is kind of like a tiny German Universal studios or an interactive museum film tour. The best part is they have the ACTUAL Prop Falkor set up, in front of a green screen, with fans AND the Never Ending Story theme song playing that you can take a picture on. Yes. Really. As part of the tour you get to get on and take pictures flying on the back of Falkor. The studio is doing regular maintenance on the dragon to keep him up for pictures! WHO DOESN’T WANT THIS PICTURE?

On top of that there are several other props from The Never Ending Story to view. The Rock Biter, Mora the Turtle, The Fast Snail, The mystical desert statues and lots of behind the scene photos from the movie!

A few more things if you are going to make the trek to Germany, my geeky friends. Bavaraih FIlm Studios is mostly in German. They do offer 1 English tour a day at 1 pm. You are also able to use their free WiFi and download an English self guided tour at any time. The whole place will showcase many different Germany films besides The Never ending story, like Alfred Hitchcock first film – The Pleasure Garden, Stanley Kubrick – Paths of Glory, 1957, parts of Mel Stuart – Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, 1971, Wolfgang Petersen’s – Das Boot 1981, Oliver Stone -The Snowden Files, 2015, and Claude Zidi – Asterix & Obelix Take On Caesar, 1999. Many of the films have green screens that want you to act and participate in movie magic. It even has an old school outdoor McDonald’s on site. The tour will cost you roughly 14 Euro.

So start your planning. You can soon live out your ultimate 5 year old you dreams.

]]> Remember Last Shelter Survival Doomsday is a whole new section to the game and things will be a little chaotic while everyone learns the many new features.

Placing the Alliance Tower Building

First things, The alliance leader will need to place the first alliance building. This building will be in the desert part of the map. Your alliance will need to have donated enough stone to the tower so you can build. This is under the alliance store You can pick where to put the tower pretty much anywhere you like in the desert, but try and pick a location that is not near zombies or Wendals. When your alliance users teleport in make sure they are far enough away from the center to build tiles all the way around the new center building.

Start Doomsday Last Shelter

Everyone in the alliance can start attacking the tiles, blank or with resources around the center tower blue squares. Try to work with your team mates and don’t attack the same tiles. There are two goals for this initial section. Build Honor structures to defend the new Alliance center and gather resource tiles/plots.

Forge a Path

Every single tile on the map can now be occupied by you or your alliance mates. They have to be touching and existing tile of yours already. You can build diagonally. You are attempting to reach the various new resource plots on the map starting with Level 1 resources. You just send your APC’s to attack these tile/plots like normal resource plots. After you conquer the plot, your APC will return to you. You will get a small amount of stone blocks from each tile. You will also unlock some daily quest in the bottom left. Open these ASAP and get enough stone to start building your 4 honor structures.

Start Building your honor structures

Once you have enough stone blocks from attacking tiles listed above (or you can purchase certain doomsday packages)., you will be able to start placing your 4 honor structures to help protect the tower. Honor structures that are a key part of doomsday. When you just start you will only be able to build 4 buildings. You want to make sure there are no holes or spaces around the center alliance tower.

How to build Honor Structures for Doomsday Last Shelter

Click on the main screen, Doomsday icon at the top right and then select the Honor tab and finally, build. From this screen you will be able to build one of each 4 basic honor structures on any tile that is occupied by your alliance. A Production Plant, Virus Research Facility, Assault Fortress, Guardian Fortress. These do not need to be in a specific order, but try and surround your Alliance tower with your other Alliance members. When you click the build menu select one of those structures and then the map should show tiles you can build on with a stone amount. If you don’t have enough stone to build yet, go back to attacking tiles or look for the bonuses in your daily mission doomsday section.

Now that you have conquered some tiles and build your four initial buildings you need to focus on upgrading these! Each hour the tiles you have taken over will produce resources, BUT you need to harvest them via the Doomsday Territory Tab. (Main menu -> Doomsday Icon -> Territory). At the bottom click on Harvest. You now have some contaminated resources that you need to clean up. You do this via your processing plant. Click back to the main menu and then click on your processing plant. Chose an infected resource and then start processing. In several hours you will get back regular oil,water, food, iron resources as well as some new items you need to upgrade your buildings. You should try and harvest, and clean regularly from this point on. You want to focus on upgrading your Virus research center ASAP as that is what will allow you to attack larger tiles with less damage.

You can only attack tiles in order. So you need level 1 infected food plot before you can attack level 2 infected food plot, kinda like the zombies on the map. Work with your alliance members to branch out and claim the many resources scattered around the map. You will also need to abandon empty plots on your quest to claim resource tiles. You can do this from the Territories screen. From this screen you can see how many “empty plots” you own and abandon them from this screen. This will not sever the connection from the other plots. You only need one alliance owned tile and anyone in your alliance can attack any tile or plot next to it. It take 30 minutes to leave the plot, so you will need to leave, wait and then branch attack out again. Keep abandoning and attacking higher level tiles. Make sure you don’t attack tiles higher than your Virus immunity level when starting out. Rinse and repeat. Attack tiles, harvest resources, clean resources, upgrade your buildings with cleaned resource items.

There is much more to Doomsday last shelter, but this should get you a start in the right direction!

Amazon Prime Video San Diego Comic Con is a fun and unique San Diego Comic Con Experience for you to check out during San Diego Comic con that covers, The Boys, Carnival Row and The Expanse. Here is what you can expect!

The Amazon Prime Video Experience will celebrate the new Amazon Original series The Boys and Carnival Row, as well as the upcoming fourth season of The Expanse, with an immersive 60,000 square-foot activation located across from the San Diego Convention Center. The Amazon Prime Video Experience will be open from Thursday, July 18 through Sunday, July 21 at the corner of MLK and 1st near the San Diego convention center.

After exploring the shows, guests can escape the summer heat and relax under a tented awning with refreshing beverages and a selection of mouthwatering bites. Cosplayers can even find a Cosplay Photography Corner within the walls of the Amazon Prime Video Experience, where a lifestyle photographer will be onsite to take professional portraits as digital takeaways.

Amazon Prime Video San Diego Comic Con Experiences

Here is some more details about each specific experience…

The Boys activation puts fans in the forefront of a crime scene that needs to be covered up. Lead by two members of The Boys cohort, you and 15-20 other attendees must scour the store and dispose of anything that could lead back to Butcher and Hughie. With the cops on their way, fans have about 10 minutes to clean up to search and destroy before fleeing the scene.

Carnival Row activation begins on the backstreets of the neo-Victorian Carnival Row. Guests will be questioned by law enforcement, then moved into the marketplace where they can interact with vendors, pucks, and faeries.

The Expanse activation enlists the help of the fans to assist with a UN peacekeeping mission on the newly colonized planet, Illus. Never seen before, fans will be able to walk and see Illus for the first time. Participants will explore new terra, pursue science-driven discoveries, and attempt to ease tensions between private corporations vying for profit and refugee groups just struggling to survive.

I got to check out the Carnival Row experience and walk around the site. It was a fully interactive and well acted experience. Kind of like a murder mystery. The cast really gets involved with talking to you and putting you into this new mystical fairy and human world. If you happen to be in the area you should check the Amazon Prime Video San Diego Comic Con out before the end of San Diego Comic Con.

]]>Last Shelter Survival Hero Development Tricks! Thursday Or 4th day of the Clash of Zones Event is Hero Development day in Last Shelter Survival. You can easily be making your numbers on this by following a few simple tricks. Here is what you get points for on Last Shelter Survival Hero Development Day.

First.. There is about a 1/2 hour buffer window that happens when a new day starts, you will get your free hero tickets, but COZ has not yet started.. Make sure you WAIT till COZ starts, don’t waste these points!

Second… You should always try to be timing your development on COZ days with your hourly quests to maximize your benefit. Click on the Event and Daily Challenge to see what things unlock during this hour. You want to try and get many things that line up with the COZ event. If it is a bad hour try and come back later to see if you can get a better hour. Of course, if you only have a certain time to play in the 24 hour period you can skip this, but the double stacking of rewards is very helpful and key to the game.

You can see during this challenge that opening recruitment tickets, spending wisdom medals, gaining exp and unlocking skills will all get your points towards daily challenges AND coz challenge… so.. a good hour.

Let’s get started.

Before you do anything… pop a 50% clash of Zones increase score.

Cash in Saved Recruitment Tickets

Then go into Heroes. Cash in all your recruitment tickets you have saved over the week from boxes. If you haven’t saved any you should still have your daily free ones THEN Cross your fingers and hope for good heroes 😀 If you don’t have any saved, that’s ok.. you will next time now that you know!

Go back and check the daily challenge to see if you’ve unlocked a daily box. Cash the daily box in.

Upgrade your Unneeded Heroes

Pick a hero that you do not have stationed or are using. (This should be MOST of them green heros don’t do much for you.) Click on their level. Use Hero EXP to upgrade the Heroes.

Green hero to Minimum of level 6 max level 12

Blue hero to Minimum of level 6 max level 20

Purple to Minimum of level 6 max level 25 (only for very high level players… most of you will want to keep your purple heros)

Upgrade skills of upgraded heros

This will allow you to unlock their skills… Click on the hero you just upgraded and then open up their next skill. Unlock it with wisdom medals and money. Bamn. Upgrade this skill to level 3 or 4. Do the same with the next skill and upgrade that skill as much as you can. Don’t worry if you are using all your medals.

Split Heros

After you have upgraded here as much as you can, Click the tiny x button on the hero screen to split the hero. You will see a screen that shows how much money, and medals you will get back. Split the hero. You will get most of the money back, the card for the hero and MOST of your wisdom medals.

Cash out Rewards

Go back to the main screen and check your dailys. You should have gotten the second chest. Also check the Coz event to see where you are and open and chests you got there also. You should be in the millions easily if you save for this event each week and use the 50% COZ ticket.

A few more Last Shelter Survival Hero Development Tricks

There is a few final things you can do to bump up that number….

Exchange medals in the Military Academy. Be careful to not exchange medals for heroes you use that might need an upgrade.

Kill Zombies all day long! This will increase hero EXP and give your much needed resources also.

Remember to do anything that will give EXP to stationed heros, Use a skill, rapid development etc.

Actually upgrade your in use Orange hero. Pick one hero at a time. Upgrade their skills 1 at a time for best results. Skill 2 and 5 will allow you to kill other players better. Skill 6 – Awaken – Should be unlocked as soon as you can.

Upgrade your stationed heroes. These hero will work for you 24 hours a day unlike the APC heroes, so don’t neglect them! Upgrade the skills that make the most sense to your game play style.

Use hero tokens to cash in fragments. Focus on one hero at a time. If you don’t have tokens yet, you will start getting them if you follow this guide 😀 They come in the 3rd box of the daily challenges.

]]>When you first start Last Shelter Survival, you will have a lot of questions and not a lot of answers. Let’s get that fixed by giving you a kick start over your enemies! Here are the top 5 tips and tricks for last shelter survival the zombie mobile game.

What is the best tech upgrades in Last shelter Survival?

Putting your resources into any technology is the BEST thing you can be doing in the game. Your power level will grow much more slowly, but The power is your True Power number. It can not be taken away from you. But what is the best one to upgrade? If you are a part of my alliance you’ve heard the lecture the second you join. The most important tech to be researching is your hospital. Say what?

To find out just how good or bad your hospital is click on the main screen. Top power number -> Scroll down until you see Base. There will be Hospital. Above that will be Total Units.

You want to try and keep these two numbers as close as you possibly can. The reason for this is simple. If someone comes to attack your base, your hospital will slowly fill up. When it is maxed out, any overflow of troops will be killed. Dead. Gone. Bye. These can be LARGE numbers of units. Any of these units killed off are a complete waste of resources. Therefore, before anything else in game. Focus on the hospital! Then if you happened to get seriously attacked, you will only be healing units, not redoing the time and resources for units. Way too many big players make this mistake. It will only take one large battle to require them healing up for days.

There is additional hospital tech located under Main screen -> Middle Power Number -> Attributes -> Troops Support

Base Wounded Capacity and Maxed Hospital Bonus Capacity will add additional stats to your Original Hospital number. The grind for these high numbers is a real challenge, but trust me. Get attacked a few times and you will immediately see the benefit.

What is a Class of Zones or Coz Event?

One of the most important events in the game will be your weekly Clash of zones event (Or Coz Event). Every week you will compete with another state for fame, glory and sweet prizes. This is why your state will need to learn to work together as opposed to attacking each other constantly, if you want to win any of the events.

WEEKLY COZ EVENT SCHEDULE

Monday: Gather Resources: Use your APC’s to gather resources from the world map

Friday: Train Soldiers: Use the camps to train more soldiers for your formations.

Saturday: Kill the enemies**: The two states that are competing will be able to travel to each others territories and battle them directly. The more enemy soldiers you kill the more points you earn for yourself and the state. You also earn points when your troops die.

Sunday: Free Development: On day 7 you are able to choose an event to take part in. It can be any of the above. By default if you do not make a choice you will be allocated the Kill Event again. Select it via the event screen and the sparkly i on the right side.

** NOTE (When you are doing the qualifiers, the opposing state will not be able to attack you yet, you will still just have the internal state Kill event)

Which brings us to …

The 2nd most Important Tech to upgrade – Zone Commemoration

If you are just starting you may not see this on your research screen yet. You will need to wait for the Zone qualifier events to happen before you will see it. Roughly a month of game play time, but this varies.

Increasing your Zone Commemoration will take Courage Medals. You get some of these when you kill a new level of zombie on the map for the first time. They will occasionally drop 1 or 2 when you kill any zombie randomly. Other than that, there is NO way to buy them or any other way in the game, EXCEPT winning at Coz Events. That makes courage medals one of the rarest resources in the game. You should be leveling this as soon as you can, and saving your courage medals for this purpose. (you also use courage medals for City Development so be careful not to use them all) You won’t be getting courage medals unless you are hitting the second and third boxes of the COZ events, but as you continue to level Zone Commemoration hitting these Coz boxes will be easier and easier if you invest into this technology.

You really want to unlock Advanced Rewards, which will unlock Level 4 rewards. This is where the game resources really start to get into play. You will need to do these things each week and these rewards here will make all the difference. INVEST NOW.

Remove your not needed Buildings From the Roads to save on Electricity, Oil, Food and Water

If you move any building in the game off the road it no longer needs electricity. You can save yourself a ton in resources if you upgrade your windmill to the max and remove all the buildings you don’t need from the roads. Buildings you can remove:

Bunks

Banks

Hospitals

Garages

Radar

Headquarters

Barracks

Hero Building, Wisdom Exchange, Station Management

Class buildings

Garrison & Garrison Hall

Training camps

Power Plants

If you need to use any of these buildings you can attach them back to the road. But their ‘upgraded’ functions will continue to be there regardless if you have them attached to the road or not. Simply add the road on, upgrade, remove again. No problems.

You want to keep attached:

All resource gathering plots

Warehouses

Guard tower

Houses

If you go to your main screen and click on the energy you will see how much you are producing under production and how much energy you are using under Consumption. Keep it in the positive and you will never have to put oil in the power plant again.

The same work around can be done for your Ration Truck.

Remove the Ration Truck from the road. Your money production and population will drop to about 80%. I can live with that loss most days and keep my food and water. I sell water only in the helicopter when i need money and usually have enough money to do most things.

Which class should I be in last shelter? What is depot in last shelter?

Depending which class you pick you will have a certain amount of protection of the resources that you have called depot protection. Farmer gives you the most, so most “How To” guides will tell you to pick farmer class in last shelter survival for early levels ( before 20). I recommend that as well.

Where can you find your depot number?

Going once again to the main screen and selecting one of the resources at the top. You will see a depot number as the bottom result. Mine is 1.5 million currently. In a perfect world, you want to keep the number of resources you have in hand less than the deport number. If you have any upgrades to do, top them up with item boxes. This means if anyone scouts you or attacks you, there will be 0 resources for them to take and it will show as 0 to the scout. Try to keep this in mind so you appear less tasty to targets. You can increase your depot number by leveling your base, donating to Resource shields under alliance technology and the depot expansion tech at the bottom of City Development. This is a worthwhile investment to keep your stuff safe.

These are some helpful getting started tips for Last Shelter Survival. More to come in our series on this great mobile game! Stay tuned!

]]>Why do you want a farm account in Last Shelter Survival? Simple. Tasty, easy resources. Many states have NAP in effect (Non-attack protocol) of other members in the state. How are you supposed to build up your accounts then without spending tons of money? Easy – create some free farm accounts with this easy guide and you will be able to feast off of your efforts. I assure you your neighbouring state and alliance already are. 🙂 Let’s get to it!

Creating a farm account in Last Shelter Survival

You have two choices for the initial setup of a new account. Playing a new account on Your PC with Bluestacks, or making sure your Main account is binded to an IM30 Account that you 100% know the password to and creating a new account on your phone.

How to reset your password for IM30 accounts

If you are not 1000% sure of the password on your main account (or even if you are but want to make EXTRA sure you don’t lose the account!), Take a moment and reset it right now so you can write it down. Last Shelter doesn’t have a forgot password option once you are logged out of the account, so this step is VERY important. We don’t want you losing that main account.

Reset your password by opening up your main account.

Go to the Middle Power Tab at the top and then select ‘Account’.

Tap ‘Bind Account’ and then the first option which should say IM30 Binding Successful. Select this one.

In the IM30 account screen you should have options for a PIN code setting and an option to change your password. Change your password here, and then you will need to verify via email. You have only 15 minutes to do this.

Make sure and write the password down so you don’t have to do it again. 🙂

If you would like to play on a desktop/laptop PC instead of on your phone all the time you can download Bluestacks. This is a free android emulator that makes it appear as if you are playing on your phone, but the game will be on your PC instead. You can add this account to your phone later on too. If you just want to have all the accounts on your phone, skip to Option 2.

Once downloaded and installed you will need to Sign in to the play store with your google account. Once done go download Last Shelter Survival. When you open it up you will be placed in a new Survivor account automatically. I will show you how to put this account on your phone in a few steps. For now All set!

Option 2 – Setup On Phone – Creating an a new account on Your Phone

If you are playing just on your phone, you will need to create a new account. Click on the power number middle tab, then Account, then Create a new account. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BINDED YOUR ACCOUNT TO AN IM30 ACCOUNT ALREADY AND YOU KNOW THE PASSWORD. IM30 does not a password reset function if you are already logged out of the account, so MAKE SURE you remember and know the passwords for all the accounts you have, or make. If not, see above for how to reset your password before you create a new account on your phone. **VERY IMPORTANT OR YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ACCOUNT**

Getting started with your Farm Account

Step 1 – Play Tutorial to Base Level 2 (5 minutes or less)

You will then start the tutorial mode in a new state, with a fresh, brand new, unbinded account as a SurvivorBunchOfNumbersandLetters.

You will need to follow along the tutorial until you upgrade your base to level 2. You will now be able to click on your power number in the top middle, then click on Account . You will want to bind this new account to a NEW IM30 account.

Step 2 – Creating a NEW IM30 Account

Each Last Shelter account will need a unique email to bind to the IM30 Account. If you have a gmail account you can create many variations of your same gmail so you won’t actually need multiple emails. For example:

account 1 – testaccount@gmail.com

account 2 – test.account@gmail.com

account 3 t.estaccount@gmail.com

Each of these account will all still go to your main gmail account. If you happen to have multiple emails, you could use that also. You will need to click on the verify email link(sometimes appears in “updates” in gmail or spam folder) and make sure you write down your password for the new account.

Add multiple Last Shelter accounts to the same device (like your phone)

You should now have the ability to login between these multiple accounts.

There will be some scary screens that say “Previous account data found are you sure you want to overwrite?” And you want to say yes. The only thing that will be “overwritten” is that it downloads the farm version of your account to your device or bluestacks. Your main account will still be unharmed, complete, and linked to your main email im30 account. This main account and your farm account will now be listed under Switch account -> IM30 account-> account list.. There they all are and you can switch between them as much as you need to now that you have set this all up. YAY. Phew. Still with me?

Back to the farms.

Goals of Farm Accounts in Last Shelter

Your initial goal is to get your farm account to level 10. People have various strategies for doing this, but mine was to join our existence alliance because my state has some non-NAP meanies in it and we had a few extra spots. Eventually when enough people on your team create farm accounts you will be able to start your own alliance with the farms. Many states include the farms as a part of NAP 10 without them taking a spot or requiring them to BE in the top 10. Again, this is all about getting resources.

Step by Step Walkthrough of Creating a farm Account in Last Shelter

You will be starting in a foreign state that is not where your main account is. You will need to progress through the tutorial and get your base to level 5, but NO higher. We will teleport it to your home state before you upgrade your base to level 6. You want to focus on only building the required buildings to level, and you don’t need ANY troops. Don’t worry about attacking Zombies or other players beyond where you have to, to progress the tutorial. You will be shielded up to level 6.

Which buildings do I level up on my Last Shelter Farm Account?

1st priority

Iron resource plots

Banks

Houses

Windmill to where you are positive Energy without power plants

2nd priority

All other resources plots except water

You will also need these buildings to level up

You need these buildings to level up your base, so you should work on keeping them upgraded along with your resources as you continue to level so you aren’t stuck upgrading one building all at once. Anything not

on this list or above you don’t need to be leveling or building…

8 > 9 requires level 8 bunk

9 > 10 requires level 9 hospital

10 > 11 requires level 10 lumber mill

11 > 12 requires level 11 farm

12 > 13 requires level 12 lumber mill

13 > 14 requires level 13 shooting range

14 > 15 requires level 14 Bank

Which Research on my Last Shelter Farm Account?

You want to do research but only in Rapid Production and City Development. You don’t need anything in military or combat. Rapid production up to paradigm shift first, then city development. Focus on whichever resources you are lower on.

Various important Tips and Tricks for Last Shelter Survival

No Food Hack in Last shelter Survival

Unless a population is required to meet a goal (like upgrading a base), you don’t need to have food and water in your ration truck. This will cause your bank to produce slightly less money, hovering at around 80% effectivity. But really.. that’s pretty good to never have to put water or food in there again.

Sell Water for Money

Since water is ONLY used in the resource truck (and for some resource upgrades) you should be selling this for money when the helicopter comes. Your other resources will be harder to get so try and get this to a level that fills your storage for those money helicopter times.

Minimal Electricity Hack in Last Shelter Survival

Any buildings that are not being used, simply remove the road that attaches to them so they don’t consume electricity. (This works on your main account too) Bunks, banks, hospitals, garages, radar, headquarters, barracks, class buildings, Garrison, Garrison Hall, Training camps, Power Plants (unless you are using them) are all things that you can keep off to the side until you need to upgrade them or use them. Anything you unlock from them will still be useful even if they have no electricity. Your radar will still work at the level you have upgraded too even if it isn’t getting electricity for example. The radar only needs to be attached to the road when you are upgrading it. This combined with the Food hack above can be tweaked out so the base will sustain itself and you wont need to keep logging into it.

How to teleport your farm account to your Home State in Last Shelter Survival

Before your base is level 6, (you can do it right away after you bind the account) you need to use your free newbie teleport to get back to your main state. This will be under items. Go to the world map, Then the BIG world map, you will be able to click on the search and go to your home state. Click anywhere on the map in your home state and you will be able to use the once time only state teleport feature. You will randomly be assigned a place on the map and maintain your newbie shield.

I joined my home alliance, got my free alliance teleport and then transported near my home team. Once these accounts reach level 10, simply change their class to raider, make sure no one is defending and you don’t have a tower on electricity and then Farm away! A lot of these specific details will depend if your state is fighting with each other or not, but the basic details are here!

Share this article with your alliance so they can start making farm accounts too and you will win in your state and against others 😀

]]>The open-world role-playing game genre has exploded over the past decade. With gaming juggernauts like Fallout and Elder Scrolls, the appeal is plain to see. Instead of the linear, level-based games of yore, players are free to roam. Instead of being forced down a typical RPG path, complete with convenient barriers which only dissipate when an objective is completed, your character can carve their own path in the world. This freedom is a welcome change from the rigidity of past genres. Players can opt to complete the main story line, any number of side quests, or just explore for hours. That said, the open-world gaming experience isn’t without its faults. This is where Outward by developer Nine Dots Studio truly shines.

While the variety is nice, open-world games have become somewhat formulaic when it comes to guidance and shortcuts.

Need A Helping Hand? Outward Offers None

The open-world scene does have some issues, however. It seems like no matter what title you’re playing, you’re given the same shortcuts for the sake of saving time. Quest markers point towards your objective, you’re fitted with a veritable GPS system in the upper right corner of your screen, and you can instantly travel to any location instead of travelling. While this can be of assistance to the time-constrained gamer, it may also miss the point of the open-world experience: It’s not about the end goal, it’s about the journey to get there.

Outward is what one gets when they envision a brilliant survival game concept after playing weeks of Dark Souls. Instead of playing as your typical hero of destiny, this title throws players into the inhospitable, hostile world of Aurai as, well, your average person.Ravaged by chaos and the appearance of a malevolent force known as the Scourge, your character’s primary goal isn’t to embark on a path of prophecy, but simply to survive. Unlike many other games of its ilk, your character needs food, water, rest and even treatment for disease. There’s no fast travel, no quest markers and no mini-map. And here’s the kicker – you also can’t die.

As if being fed, hydrated and well-rested weren’t real enough, Outward also offers some serious penalties for failure.

What’s The Point Of Never Dying?

While it seems like a blessing, or a very faulty game mechanic, immortality comes at a steep price. In Outward, players can’t just save their game and reload it if they fail. The game automatically saves all your character’s progress, and losing all your health just ends up with that character awakening after getting knocked out. Sounds like a good deal, right? Well, it really isn’t. Failing in your journey means that your character has to heal, stock up on supplies, eat and rest. If that character’s contracted any diseases (and they will, trust me) those must be cured, as well. In Outward, all of your supplies must be crafted, as well. Food must be cooked, because raw food will, a lot of the time, produce ailments. Potions for battle and utility must be crafted from foraged ingredients. Your character also must prepare for yet another journey ahead, back to retry their failed quest once more or perhaps to forge a new path. In the age of fast travel, even a walk to the store must be meticulously prepared for.

Be prepared before heading out in Outward, because the road ahead is not only perilous, but the simplest of impediments can lead to failure.

This Game Doesn’t Sound Very Fun So Far!

Herein lies the beauty of Outward, and it’s a perspective one. Instead of every carefully-guided, breezy quest rewarding players with an achievement at the very end, the entire journey is the achievement. Having to plan and consider so many factors instead of instantly being transported across a continent at the click of a button adds a new layer of depth to this game. Instead of one big victory, Outward is hundreds of small victories, each more rewarding than the next as the player inches closer to accomplishing their goal. Especially considering how there’s no quick-save to reload if failure is imminent. One quest in the world of Aurai bears the complexity of a dozen quests in your standard open-world offering.

Remember the last time running to the grocery store invoked a panic attack? Well, brace yourself.

Even Magic Comes At A Cost

Even the magic system in Outward requires some serious premeditation. Spell-casting isn’t the standard ‘press X for nuclear air strike’ that your average gamer is used to. Not only do spells require physical components via performing rituals, but they’re most effective when cast in conjunction. In a way, Outward’s magic system has ‘combos’ that one must master in order to succeed in the world. The fun doesn’t just stop there either, would-be wayfarers. In order to play as a Mage, your character has to fight his or her way through a mountain in order to perform a ritual. This ritual unlocks your mana bar and your first spell, but at the cost of some of your health and stamina. The more powerful a magic-user your player becomes, the weaker they become physically. You see, in this game, there really is no such thing as a free lunch. Well, or spell.

You’re not alone in Outward. Play online cooperatively or split-screen on your couch with a pal.

Brave The Wilderness With A Friend

There is one very attractive feature of Outward, one that’s quite rare in a single-player role-playing game of the open-world variety. If players find themselves in a serious bind, or just feel like exploring with a friend, they can invite a second player to experience Aurai with them. Cooperative play can either happen online or, curiously enough, in a split-screen setting in person. This offers a new level of enjoyment as you and your friend explore – and suffer – together. One major setback with co-op, however, is the fact that only the game host will progress in quests. Whoever joins in will, sadly, still have to complete their own quests. That said, there’s nothing stopping from two friends from swapping hosts and redoing the same quests.

A New Take On An Old Formula

Outward has all the standard fare of your typical open-world RPG. There’s a main story, different factions to join, dungeons to crawl through and plenty of surprises off the beaten path. Having been out for almost a month now, the game’s generating quite a bit of buzz for both its individuality and difficulty. If players are looking for a standard autopilot romp through a vast world, Outward won’t really hit the spot. However, for gamers who love open-world exploration and a challenge, the game passes with flying colors. One thing’s for certain with Outward, it’s a great way to kill time. If you’re looking to change it up, grab a friend and immerse yourself in the most interesting open-world experience of 2019 thus far.

INTRODUCTION:

Alita Battle Angel is a live action film based on the anime and manga of the same name.

BAR:

Set low. I really was hoping this was going to be good, but my expectations weren’t high.

EXPECTATIONS:

Way exceeded.

Let me put it this way, I really, really had a good time watching this film. All of the action love that Robert Rodriguez injected into his early films like Desperado and From Dusk Til Dawn is right there on the big screen. It’s loud and blasting with energy. It’s almost like producer James Cameron was able to help him laser focus on the action aspect of the film. It doesn’t quite have the wacky edge that the action in some of this earlier films though. He seriously does not disappoint in the action at all. I mean it isn’t John Wick, but it blows Ghost in the Shell out of the water.

Actually, there is a serious John Wick link to this movie… Between this and Ghost in the Shell, Ghost just didn’t quite get it together to the level that this one did. Alita worked where Ghost didn’t. By the way, the breaks between the action scenes were just the right length for you to catch your breath and get ready for the next one. There wasn’t an overloading of action. Trust me when I say the action rocks, and it’s worth the price of admission alone.

ALITA BATTLE ANGEL:

Alita Battle Angel is based on Yukito Kishiro’s manga Gunnm (gun dream). For me, this is the best anime to live action translation I have seen. Sure this movie has a serious problem. Although it doesn’t make it “bad,” it certainly throws a bit of a disappointing wrench into things. It certainly is now one of my favorite anime/manga cross-overs into live action. A real budget helped. It had the extra to go just a little farther than earlier ones. It could push the limits on the effects, action, quality of acting, etc that they couldn’t. To be honest, after seeing this, I finally have hope that Akira can be made into a quality live action film.

UNCANNY VALLEY AVOIDED:

One thing that this film had in its favor is the fact that the cyborgs are not “real”. There are moments where the CG doesn’t completely work, but because it’s on creatures that aren’t “human”, it doesn’t come across so badly. Overall it’s really passable in this area as a result. I think that’s the most important aspect of this, that because of that separation the uncanny valley doesn’t get stepped in.

When the CG isn’t perfect, there is something in the back of your mind that just reminds you that they aren’t real, so it’s OK. The majority of the borgs look really cool. Some of the borgs in the Motorball scenes look a bit overdone, but the majority of them are pretty cool looking. The girl in the red hood is particularly striking, and Alita’s transformations and upgrades over the course of the film have meaning, and show her growth.

ACTING STANDOUTS:

This was an action movie with a lot of CG based characters, but that doesn’t mean that the actors who portrayed them didn’t didn’t really work out well. I have to say that they all really pulled it off. The acting is really what makes the difference between an action movie that is OK, and one that really works. Frankly, this one really works.

JENNIFER CONNELY:

She was great as usual. I mean she has always kind of been a stand out for me: Once Upon A Time In America, Phenomena, Labyrinth, The Rocketeer, Dark City, Soider-Man: Homecoming, etc, etc. She totally fit correctly in her role, and did a great job.

CHRISTOPH WALTZ:

When he’s placed in the right role is such an outstanding actor. I think sometimes he is mis-cast, but this time his casting was nailed. He seemed perfect for the role, and he seemed to have had a great time working on it.

ROSA SALAZAR:

She brought the right energy to Alita. Part of the reason this movie worked overall (even with its flaws) is her level of performance. Getting to see the post featurettes after the movie really helped to drive home how important she was to making the character work. The advances that have been made in CG allow her character to come to life.

JACKIE EARLE HALEY:

He represents one of the major reasons this movie works. Even though he does not have the largest role, the support that he provides brings a real threat to the film. I mean his voice work alone brings a great creepy factor to his role, and the way his character is presented on screen follows up with that. He is the one threat that Alita genuinely has to overcome in the film, and he embodies every aspect of that.

There is no moment at which you don’t think that he is dangerous. It is seriously hard to believe that this is the same person who was in The Bad News Bears or Breaking Away.

JEFF FAHEY:

He makes an appearance. This might not seem like such a big deal, and it isn’t, except for his appearance in Lawnmower Man and Body Parts. They are both, in a way, linked to the general story of the film. Both those films sort of lead the way into virtual reality and other body parts films that create the base for Alita.

Overall, the supporting cast, and the way they are presented do a great job in adding the right flavor and spice to the film. They make the world feel real.

THE TRAILERS/MARKETING MATERIALS:

OK, so thinking back on it, the trailers actually show a lot of spoiler-y information in the film. It isn’t anything that ruins the film, because with all the action on the screen, everything else kind of takes second fiddle to it. I mean a lot of the things that go on in the film, are things that you see coming. That being said, there is something about even though you know a certain plot point is going to happen in a film, you don’t end up caring because the way in which it is set up, and ultimately occurs is really good.

Spoiler: for instance, you know Alita is eventually going to get the sword, but when she finally does, you are like, yeah, yeah even though I knew that was coming, that was totally cool. I mean a story point done right, even if you know it, is so much stronger than one that fails, even if you didn’t see that coming. If you want to cheer a little even when you know something is going to happen, you know they did it right. And they did. A lot.

THE PROBLEM (SPOILER!):

The ending.

These guys went out on a limb making this movie. Over the last few years, there have been a few big movies made on basically unproven properties here in the USA: Ghost in the Shell, Valerian, etc. They didn’t really work out. Ghost in the Shell wasn’t bad (not amazing either), but Valerian just seemed like a bunch of video games cut scenes stitched together.

So the ending totally sets up a sequel, but it doesn’t stop at the right moment. The movie was feeling really long. Like, you say to yourself, “I know I’ve been here for like an hour and a half already”, and certain things that should have happened haven’t happened yet.” Well,.it ends, and is basically a “complete” film, and I use that term pretty, OK very loosely, but a second film is so set up. It is so set up, that this film doesn’t feel done. Here’s the deal: if you knew part two was coming out next year you would already be jazzed for it. You’d be like, “let me by my ticket now!” Instead, it’s a half baked ending, that although completes the film is just like “What????”

THE WAIT:

What makes this bad, is that I really want the next film now, but I feel like I was sort of short changed. Like there have been other films that promised a part two that never delivered: Flash Gordon, Buckaroo Banzai, Big Trouble In Little China… Yes, I am looking at you three in particular. I would pay a ton to see what you promised, but no, it doesn’t exist. This one sealed up the finale, but then didn’t promise a part two, except it did. The expectation is totally there, but the filmmakers didn’t have the guts to either just go ahead and film the second one (I soooo wish they had), or commit to it.

Instead we get what might turn out to be a bail out. The ending works, but I think it should have either ended a few minutes sooner, run an hour longer and completed the story, or gone ahead and had the second one waiting in the wings.

FINAL CALL:

This is a great action movie. If you like science fiction/post-apocalyptic action films, this rocks. It’s one of those times that a “B” move got a full budget, so go enjoy the visuals and excitement that this will provide on the big screen. See this in a theater. It’s hella good.

Bar:

Set pretty low. This is a DC movie after all.

Expectations:

Shazam! killed it.

One Liner:

I don’t think that I will see a more fun movie all year.

Background:

Shazam is really a pretty old character. He was originally introduced in Fawcett Comics in the 1940’s. Since then, the character’s rights have been transferred to DC. Over the years, there have been a few lawsuits over him concerning copyright infringement with Superman, and later with Marvel Comics’s Captain Marvel.

Once DC acquired the rights to Fawcett’s Captain Marvel, they re-branded him under the name Shazam. This is, of course, the magic word young Billy Batson says to turn him into the powerful super-hero. I grew up watching the Captain Marvel live-action television show as a kid. To be honest, though, I was really watching the Power Hour because I had a crush on The Mighty Isis…

Fun:

Let me put it this way, the entire theater was erupting in laughter within a few minutes of Shazam starting. The movie played with all sorts of comedy, from physical comedy to humorous references. I know that I am going to be watching this movie any time I want a good laugh.

Not A KID’S Film:

A lot of people have the impression that this movie is a “kid’s film”. It’s not. It’s got some pretty violent scenes and plays with some more adult themes. Kids will love it. It doesn’t treat them like they are children, but rather treats them like they are people. There is also a fair bit of cursing int it. That’s surprising for a super-hero film, but I thought it was true to life, and not thrown in for shock. Someone also mentioned that this was a film made for boys. It isn’t.

BAD GUY:

This is really where the movie succeeds over all the other DCEU films. The big baddy in Shazam, Dr. Sivana, is played to the proverbial “T” by Mark Strong. The audience gets to know this character and empathize with him. He has pretty valid reasons for being a going down the path of evil.

His story is just about as interesting as that of our main characters. Unlike Harry Potter Troll Doomsday or whatever that blobby looking thing was supposed to be, or I so didn’t see that twist coming at all, you mean he was the bad guy all along? Ares, or so “evil” he was boring Steppenwolf, that I actually look forward to this guy potentially coming back in future movies. He isn’t quite so good that I would want to see a movie about him, but he’s close. Sivana is the equal of Shazam across the board, and not just in his “power level”. He matches him throughout the film in a variety of ways and heightens the tension throughout.

ACTORS:

Whoever cast this film did a bang up job. Working with young people can be tough. One kids bad acting can totally ruin a film (yes, I am looking right at you Deric McCabe. He played Charles Wallace in A Wrinkle in Time, and knocked Jake Lloyd off that throne). These kids did a fantastic job all around. Asher Angel and Jack Dylan Grazer both do really good work on screen, but Faithe Herman, who plays Darla, is great, and she really pulls off the look of the comic character.

Herman’s reactions and timing are spot on for the scenes that she is in. Zachary Levi really plays in several worlds. He is both a super-hero and a child in an adult’s body. He brings an energy to the role that makes it totally believable. His experience is used to create comedy gold. The film really plays with this aspect of the character very well. The interplay between the kids is one of the best things about the movie. I have to say, Zachary Levi has certainly earned his honorary teenager badge after this.

Mark Strong, an actor who I normally don’t like, was the right choice for this role. Maybe it’s partly that I already don’t like him. I have to say, though, that he really nailed the role of Dr. Sivana. The casting for Shazam was really well done all around.

EASTER EGGS:

Shazam takes place in the world of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the rest of the DC heroes. The kids in the movie are well aware of this fact. They collect ephemera and memorabilia of those heroes. Everyone is aware of heroes. You should keep your eyes out for every reference to DC heroes as they pop up throughout the film. They are everywhere. They are on t-shirts, backpacks, posters, and all over. You see them everywhere.

The way in which the characters talk about DC heroes seems very real. This is exactly what would happen in a world populated by beloved heroes. Jokes about the other DC heroes come up constantly, and they are some of the funniest ones in the film. Keep your eyes peeled true believers. Uh-oh crossed teams there for a second. If you look for all those references, then that will add an extra level of play to an already fun movie.

TWIST(S) (or unexpected moments for some people:

Yep. There are a few. From hints in the film, I had some pretty good ideas as to what they were going to be. Even though I sat there hoping for them to happen, they exceeded everything I wanted from them when they finally did.

ENDS ON TOP:

Let me just say that at least for me, the final battle and following scene end up on top of the energy in the film. You have to see it to know what I am talking about (and you should go see it).

POST CREDITS SCENES:

There is more than one. Stay for the post credit sequences.

FINAL CALL:

Thank you DC for not taking this film seriously. They just let the characters be the odd characters that they are. They did not force them into the gritty, dark mess that so much of the DCEU has been. Shazam totally works. I really don’t know how a better Shazam movie could have been made. As I said, I have a sneaking feeling that this will the most fun film I will see all year. The energy reminded me of my favorite film, Flash Gordon. I don’t know what can tell you how much I liked it more than that.

Go see it. Enjoy!

TRAILER:

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS:

David F. Sandberg (“Annabelle: Creation”) directs New Line Cinema’s “Shazam!,” the origin story that stars Zachary Levi (TV’s “Chuck”) as the titular DC Super Hero, along with Mark Strong (the “Kingsman” movies) in the role of Super-Villain Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, and Asher Angel (TV’s “Andi Mack”) as Billy Batson. Peter Safran (“Aquaman,” “The Conjuring” and “Annabelle” films) serves as the film’s producer.

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).
